Improved to Good Article status by Susmuffin (talk). Self-nominated at 21:59, 19 September 2021 (UTC).
- Article has achieved Good Article status. No issues of copyvio or plagiarism. All sources appear reliable. Both hooks are interesting, but I prefer the first hook. QPQ has not been done. Once it has been completed, the nomination will be all set. Congratulations on this absolutely superb article! Thriley (talk) 20:58, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
